Embodiment Construction

[0032] Reference now will be made to the drawings to describe the present invention in detail.

[0033]FIG. 1 is a flow chart for manufacturing a light guide plate. The process includes the steps of: [0034] 1) providing a first substrate, and coating a photo-resist thereon; [0035] 2) exposing the photo-resist using a photo mask having a micro-dot pattern, and developing the photo-resist; [0036] 3) anisotropically dry etching the first substrate so that the pattern of micro-dots of the photo mask is transferred thereto; [0037] 4) removing remaining photo-resist from the first substrate to thereby provide a mold; [0038] 5) providing a second substrate and a hot-embossing machine, and conducting hot-embossing of the second substrate using the mold; and [0039] 6) removing the second substrate from the hot-embossing machine, thereby providing the light guide plate.

[0040] FIGS. 2 to 7 are schematic, cross-sectional views illustrating stages in the above-described process. FIG. 2 shows the ...

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a light guide plate (70) includes: providing a first substrate (30); coating a photo-resist (600) on the first substrate; exposing the photo-resist using a photo mask; developing the photo-resist; anisotropically dry etching the first substrate; removing remaining photo-resist (640), thereby providing a mold (40); providing a second substrate (50) and a hot-embossing machine (80), and conducting hot-embossing of the second substrate using the mold and the hot-embossing machine, thereby providing the light guide plate. By using the above-described dry etching and hot-embossing methods, a pattern of the photo mask is precisely transferred to the first substrate and the light guide plate. A diameter of the each of micro-dots formed on the light guide plate is as little as 10 nanometers. Thus a uniformity of luminance and color provided by the entire light guide plate is improved.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the invention [0002] The present invention relates to manufacturing of light guide plates, and particularly to a method for manufacturing a light guide plate using a duly manufactured mold. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are now in wide spread use in various applications; for example, in desktop computers, portable computers, LCD televisions, portable telephones, etc. An LCD can not itself emit light. A light source system such as back light system is needed for emission of light. A light guide plate is an important part of a back light system, because it controls uniform directionality of emitted light. [0005]FIGS. 8A to 8K represent a conventional process for manufacturing a light guide plate, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,522,373 issued on Feb. 18, 2003. The process includes the steps of: [0006] a) applying a primer on a silicon substrate 10 covered with a silicon oxide (SiO2) film 11 t...
